NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) –A federal judge in Manhattan ordered a “compassionate release” Tuesday from prison for a dying former civil rights lawyer.

The U.S. government requested the release earlier in the day for Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in a terrorism case from prison. Prosecutors say Stewart, 74, suffers from recurrent stage-four breast cancer. She was not scheduled to be released until August 2018.

I did a quick double-check, and I was right. The judge that ordered her release is the same one that initially was only going to give Stewart 28 months in prison, instead of the 30 years prosecutors asked for.

So, she conspired with the radical, “Blind Shiek,” the guy that tried to bring down the WTC tower back in 1993, was found guilty, and now we are going to release her because she is dying from cancer?

IMHO, we were compassionate already because we did not fry her, hang her, or put her in front of a firing squad like she deserved.

Sounds like when the UK released Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the guy that brought down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, because he had cancer and was supposed to die any moment...then went home to a hero’s welcome and lived another three years.

release her to any muslim or communist country that she wishes to go to....About 1/2 way there, a malfunction could possibly occur with the aircraft....and only the pilot happens to have a parachute.....accidents happen like in fort marcy park ....
